3rd product made.. needs some light sanding for smothing but for the most part is a keeper




ill be ordering a diff type of bagging material which stretches.. to help with the corners more.. also will be getting a different peel ply since my current stuff leaves a ruff surface.. and more of a dry look

Perhaps we should make it a meet and eat. So meet up and have dinner at like the cheesecake factory. Bring the significant others and what not. Change it up a bit.

I saw you as I looked over the freeway from the off ramp! Could tell by the black wheels and roof overlay ha, but from the rearview I didn't know, not to mention I was half day dreaming and half looking for cops :P lol

Ok so it seems that even though I no longer own an Acura, I still keep coming back to this forum, there's something addicting about it..

Been fishin' at 21deg. North. Back on the main/homeland now, burnt and busted. Went to Oahu and was shocked not to see one single hot supercar. Not even crusing Waikiki Beach. Lots of other good things to look at though.

Did however catch this\/ GT3 on the North Shore.



Otherwise, lots of this\/


Odd, the economy seems good there and there is a Lambo dealer, but no supercars???

Back to reality.

Fresh off of vacation, I woke up looking forward to going back to work. As much as I love sleeping in, eating cookies for breakfast, and generally just being lazy, I was looking forward to getting back into a regular schedule. However, now that I'm here I've changed my mind.

Curious why you didn't choose a Civic, other than the obvious "I don't want the same car every 19 yr old has."

There are sooo many aftermarket options for the Civic that I've considered getting one as a commuter.

i'm done other than diy stuffs that i can do with left over parts and paints. if they run out, i'm done with diy too. no more money into this car other than gas and regular maintenance. but i need new shocks before that its about time to go i think.


today, i took fx35 for a drive. needs some new oil change and have to clean stillen intake filter. first time driving in a month or two. bought in november 2009 with 28500 miles. today odo was at 39,300. if it wasn't for the road trip in 2010, it will be 3000 miles less. still have that new car leather smell to it. looove it haha
